Prediction Changes v bulldogs

[Righteo]

Cards marked.
Selection is bullshit

It sure looks that way.

I mean you can be pissed off at JOM and Walter's staying in while simultaneously being happy that two guys who also didn't perform in Sturt and Hughes were dropped. Just because we're not dropping two blokes who have been s**t doesn't mean we have to keep them all in. Sturt clearly didn't do enough from a defensive perspective and the club thinks it's better off playing Voss as the third tall instead.

Voss replaces Amiss.

O’Meat and Walters should not be in this team

 

[mattis117]

Lol four good changes and people can't be satisfied.

More will come with Amiss and Switta back next week.

Focus on the positive, we finally see the back of Hughes.

 

[apuchar]

Gee some serious melts here! They can’t drop 8 guys like you all want. 4 dropped and 4 come in all which I think were great choices! They even dropped Hughes and kept Draper! I’m very happy with the changes.

Sturt was already in the team so we could have dropped JOM or rested Walters and it wouldn't have affected the number of outs.
Personally I thought he was brought in underdone last week because of necessity, so I don't mind so much but will be keen to see if he is considered again this year.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

I figured we weren’t dropping Sonny because JL said in his presser that we needed to get him going (as in, get the ball to him more or whatever). But O’Meara staying in the team is really strange.

Excited to see what the new lads in Simpson (eh) and Voss can do!!

I still think Sturt is a bit stiff. One “bad” game and he gets the boot. A lot more latitude given to others.

Maybe, but then isn't he also extremely lucky to have gotten a game? If you really think about it took injuries to Switta and Freddy + a sick Cooper Simpson for him to get a game. He came in for Freddy, now Freddy's back and taking back his place. The only other argument you can make is Sturt for Walters, but then we become way too tall.

 

[Taylor]

Sturt and Frederick must play the same role.

Brodie might need to study the wing role a bit in the off-season

The happy clappers are always satisfied.

I’m sure we could figure out a way to cover Walters 1 disposal a quarter

 

[s_wd6]

Voss replaces Amiss.

I agree with that. But the replacements should be from Brodie/Stanley/Switta/Erasmus. Not from Sturt.

 

[s_wd6]

I'm sure we could, but the answer is not Sturt's 1.5 disposals a quarter.

If O'Meara is to go out for Brodie, then someone else needs to do almost all of the role Jaeger is playing.

Can Brodie run a wing? Doubt it. Can Fyfe or Serong play that role, maybe, but both are better than Brodie.

If Brodie kicks some goals from the forward line he could get in the side but he and Erasmus are stuck behind two brownlows and a rising star and four B&Fs

Doesn't need to be Brodie. Give Stanley a go. At the very least as sub.

 

[Taylor]

I don't want to replace the lack of athleticism with an elite kick of Walters with the lack of athleticism and average kick of O'Meara or Erasmus either.

He is one I'd like to see on the wing at AFL level.

Being too tall is a problem because the tall players are generally too slow/cumbersome, but that doesn't apply in Sturt's case because he is faster and more agile than Walters, Emmett and Banfield. Whether Sturt is better is another question, but he's not getting dropped because he makes us "too tall".

 

[MadMundy]

God people just don't know how to be happy, we've just brought in two exciting young talents (which you guys have been begging for in the side for weeks), Chapman and Frederick are back, yet because Sturt gets dropped all is doom and gloom?

Get a grip, the lot of you who are acting like that.

 

[wakojako]

I'm sure we could, but the answer is not Sturt's 1.5 disposals a quarter.

Fritsch averages 8 disposals a game and 1.5 tackles this season. Melbourne plays him because he's flipping accurate, a low-impact high scorer type of player. We need goal kickers. Let the other 6 forwards do the hard work.

Now, now. You know half the people on here are still brainwashed by 10 years of Ross.

Goal…. Kickers? You’ve lost me. You sure you don’t mean more defenders?

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

Excited to see what Voss can do having never played a senior game before, some players simply step up when given the opportunity, I’ve got a hunch he’ll be that kind of player.

Chappy and Frederick are huge inclusions and Simpson had looked classy in the WAFL.

O’Meara keeping his spot is a head scratcher but doesn’t take much away from the inclusions, we look exciting on paper.

Simpson and Voss are goalkickers from all accounts, they're new, but they're goalkickers.

Was Switter not available or not brought back in? Odd to miss two weeks with concussion given it wasn’t a huge impact
